Yes, but not a massive amount. I pay annually and it works out to about $7-8 a month for 50mbps of bandwidth and unlimited downloads. Then use *arr apps and sabnzbd to manage everything.
I mean, I don’t use the service but, $7-8 a month that gives you access to everything versus 14 to $16 a month per streaming service on everything else. It sounds like they’re still getting a steal at a more convenient rate.
Being said, yeah there is plenty of free options that could be being done as well so there is that argument
Yes? If I could get everything in one place then I would happily pay for that. I don’t pirate to save money. Saving money is just a nice sideeffect. I pirate because it’s literally more convenient than juggling 15 different services.
Depends on how much you download. You can pay a once-off payment for a block of data and it lasts indefinitely. I’ve got a 5TB block I’ve had for over 10 years. I think it was maybe $25 when I got it?
Edit: If you need more data, there’s plans with unlimited data for a few dollars per month.
Why torrent when you can use newsgroups? No need to seed, just download and done. Haven’t torrented for 10 years.
Don’t you need to pay to be able to get access?

I mean it’s completely valid if you find that to be a better deal than torrenting, but I can use my full 500 mbps bandwidth for free.
So you pay for piracy
Pay a subscription to watch subscription content for free!
